China calls for impartial investigations of genocide committed by America and other Western countries

Genocide is a severe international crime that has brought untold misery to people in history and whose devastating impacts are still being felt today, Jiang Duan, minister of the Chinese mission to the United Nations (UN) in Geneva, said in a speech on race-based genocide in the U.S. and Canada at the 47th session of the UN Human Rights Council on Monday.

Referring to Native Americans in the United States, Jiang said they were expelled from their land and slaughtered during the so-called Westward Expansion nearly 100 years after the country was founded.

“Other western countries also committed severe crimes of genocide and crimes against humanity in colonizing and invading other countries,” Jiang said.
